Original Story: Undateable creator Adam Sztykiel is in negotiations to write the screenplay for Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam from New Line Cinema, according to Deadline.

Johnson was originally slated to star as the villain/antihero in Shazam, which just cast Zachary Levi in the lead role, but instead will debut in his own solo movie that is being developed concurrently with Shazam.

Johnson is also producing Black Adam.

Sztykiel was a member of the writing team for New Line’s Rampage, the 2018 adaptation of the 1980’s videogame, which also stars Johnson. His other writing credits include Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Hauland Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.
